Whoa,
Never noticed this site before, but it's about time... As novice divers who live nowhere near a dive site and who personally know few other divers, my wife and I have found that deciding where to go for our next dive vacation and which dive shop to use is a time-consuming process at best, and a disappointing one at worst.
Do you folks out there find the postings truly honest in terms of what sites have been degraded and which resorts/operators are inept, unprofessional, or could give a toss about protecting the reefs they make their livelihood from? I hope so. Not unlike travel guides in general, articles in diving mags tend to rank everything on a scale from great to spectacular. And as we know, these reviews can bear little relation to the reality we pay dearly to experience.
My fingers are crossed, as this forum could be a really useful discovery. I do wonder about the fact that there's advertising on the site...
Cheers,
R&K
